I like to stay very supported whether it be in a everyday bra or sports bra. This Sports bra does that even while doing P90. I put in my size and it adjusted it to European size, almost feel runs big as I have only worn (1) week and I am wearing it on the tightest setting.

I like the fit on this bra, I think it's accurate. The cups are foam but they are thin foam and don't add size. The stitching details are also really pretty. I will be buying this in other colors at some point. Also, this bra won't show up under a shirt!

This is literally my every day go-to bra. The molded cup and balconette shape are both flattering and comfortable under any garment.
The bra has reasonable coverage, neither "full" or barely there.
I've found the band is a little too big, but not quite enough for a full size down. I usually have to start on the second set of hooks which means the bra doesn't last as long :/
I'm a 36H in Panache, but I usually order this one in a 36GG because their 36H has some extra room for me, resulting in "folding" of the cups.

I was amazed at how comfortable this bra was to wear right out of the package. I was surprised to see that it was also very supportive. On top of that it is very pretty with the ribbons and lace. Who would have thought you could get all three in the larger cup sizes? The fabric is not the least bit scratchy, even the lace part.
The cup is true to size but, the band is a little small. If you are on the edge of a band size, you might want to get the next size up. However, it is my experience that the band relaxes a little after a few wearings, so it's not a big concern. Another odd thing is the upper fabric is very transparent, so your nipples show through. Since it's an undergarment, it's also not a big concern to me, but some people might be disturbed by it.
I had originally ordered this bra to wear for special occasions, but it is supportive and comfortable enough for everyday wear.

I love this bra,and have it in two colors. It fits well, and is very comfortable-- more than regular bras for yoga as neither the straps nor the underwire cut in with movement. These bras are very comfortable. Finally a sports bra in large size that I can wear with any yoga tank. It doesn't have any ugly seams across the front cups, which many sports bras (including other Freya bras) have. When the straps show the colors are cute. In fact, don't worry about the buying the bright blue bra -- the straps are the only thing that show and the pink/yellow combo looks good. In addition to blue I also have it in black with white trim and have ordered the crimson color. I've been wearing it for the past few months and always one of these to workouts now.

I gave this bra 4 stars because it doesn't have the next size up available, 38GG. FREYA...MAKE THIS IN A 38GG! I love that it has only two hooks...most bras for larger busted women tend to have three or four. As a woman with a very short torso and large bosom, I can't use the bras with more hooks because the bra will tend to poke into my armpits...a most uncomfortable feeling. I'd love to see this bra in more colors too.

So comfortable especially the shoulder straps. I love the feel of the material. Its a sexy classy look. Im a 34DD but needed to return it for a 32DD even though the 32 is a little tight I know after a few months of wear the material will stretch and allow me to stay supportive for longer lasting wear.

I was concerned about the bra having only two hook/eye closures, because normally my bras come with three. However, this bra is still super supportive, and I don't worry at all about anything falling out or coming undone.
The only cons are that the underwire comes up into my armpits somewhat, and the fabric on this one is a bit scratchy. I am 5'2 and have trouble finding bras in my cup size that do not have the underwire issue. I am keeping this bra and have worn it several times, but I probably will not order it again. But it would probably be perfect for taller ladies. :)
I HIGHLY recommend the Panache Tango ACCENTI balconette bra (see my review there), as it did not have the underwire or fabric problem.

My daughter found your site on line and told me to look for a better Bar at your bare necessities site, and I did. I called for a fitting and they helped me find out that I was wearing the wrong size all this time!
I am now wearing a: 30 G, Freya Active Sport Bra. The Bar came to my door Very quickly, and it fits PERFECT. I Love my New Freya Active Sport Bra, it is cool, a Great Fit, the straps never fall down, I don't Bounce at all, it holds"the GIRLS" up where they should Be!
I Ordered another right away, I will order more soon.
Thank you very much, I Love my Bare Necessities Bra..

I have the Fantasie Smoothing Balcony bra, both the padded and unlined, and wear them constantly. I love the unlined, it has great support and shape. My only wish is that they came in more colors than black and nude. So I was so happy to find the Echo bra in red, it is beautiful!! It has the same great fit and feel as the Smoothing but definitely prettier. Please make both of these bras in more colors! I would say the unlined styles are consistently sized in both styles, however the padded Smoothing runs just slightly bigger in the cup. I wear a 34 E. Also all of the Fantasie bras wash well and seem to be lasting much longer than other brands.

After loving this bra and then hating it and then loving it again, I have finally decided that I do indeed love this bra and it is my favorite.
This was my first bra in 32G (UK sizing) after I was fit properly. I loved it in the beginning but eventually the scratchy lace got to me. More so because I am short and the sides come almost to the armpits sometimes and that was NOT comfortable.
Now after having returned a tonne of Panache, Freya, Wacoal, Curvy Kate and what not, I realised that this gave me the best shape.
The most important thing is that it holds up and forward and doesn't push to the sides (which only makes you feel like the boobs are being smashed and looks large/shapeless both from sides and front). Indeed, I haven't even found a bra which does it as much as this does. Secondly, it has excellent side support- also very flattering. The other things about this bra is the thick straps, imagine having heavy breasts on noodles straps! And it has a thick sides and band.
I would definitely change the lace to a softer fabric. For people which unusual (read large) breasts, who have so few bras to choose from, we would be okay with cotton! Don't try to make it pretty, make it strong!

I'm so happy to have found this bra! I'm wearing a 38 J and can't remember the last time I wore a bra with out a wire (it was probably a training bra!) so I was leery to try it but did so because I was desperate to find a comfortable, well-fitting nursing bra. This bra is very comfortable, supportive, and well-made. The material is soft and breathable. The back has a very wide band and the straps are strong enough to support the weight of large breasts. I'm so happy with this bra that I ordered a second one! Worth the price. Thank you for carrying large sizes!

This is a great tshirt bra since the foam lining isn't too thick. It seems to be lined with just enough of the foam. I love the option of wearing the bra with j-hook in the back. The racerback style is great for wearing tank tops.

I'm a bigger busted girl, 32J, so good strapless bras are really tough to come by. I was hesitant to buy one at all, to be honest. This one is actually really great though. I can wear it for several hours and not have to yank it back in to place, it stays put where it should be. The fit is true to size and it doesn't add any extra cup sizes when I don't need them. My only complaint is that after a few hours my ribs do tend to feel a little sore, but it's a minor inconvenience I'm willing to have for a bra that actually does it's job.

I had my first Prima Donna fit at a place that has replacement garments for folks who have had breast cancer. The gal was wonderful, showed me how it was meant to fit and suggested the correct size and support for my size. I am a large woman with larger breasts and I now own 6 of these, and I promise they are worth the cost and the wait (the last one had to come from France I believe). Anyway I would recommend it for anyone who needs excellent support and is large, I am a size 44H.

Cup size/shape fits great, very natural. I was looking for a bra I felt comfortable wearing now that I am back to work in a professional setting. This works great, looks good under clothes but easy to pump/nurse while wearing it!

Love, love, love this strapless! First of all, the color is gorgeous! Second of all it supports the girls, it doesn't just sit there expecting you to do all of the work. I ordered it in a 34GG and it's fan-freaking-tastic! I shouldn't be so suprised because my other good strapless bra is made by Fantasie; this bra is exceptional!

Some of the reviews said it will fit a bit small - and I agree, the band size is a bit snug. I don't think going up a size would work for me.
The bra itself is fantastic; other than that it fits well, is comfortable, and looks good. It's hard to find a bra that makes me feel sexy with 34FF and this bra does it.
It has enough padding to offer structure, which I prefer because my breasts are primarily fat and don't have much shape. The bra offers a lot of support and I have no issues with running up and down the stairs.
I ordered the bra in the dusty rose, and the colour is a lot more "dusty" than I expected. For some reason I thought it would be mildly pink; it isn't really. That's okay; I still like it a lot and it still looks good. The black piping and bow are what make this bra feel sexy for me.

This bra gives good support and a nice shape, despite the fact that it's not really padded. The colors look really good also. Sizing is perfect--not too tight on my bigger boob, but not floppy on the smaller one. So happy with this bra!

I have to order a bunch of different bras at once so I can go through them to find which one I like best. I loved this bra. It is a very sexy bra. I have a very hard time finding a bra in my size (38 K) especially one that will not give me what I call "torpedo boob." Although this bra has somewhat thin material, it keeps a round shape, which I find more appealing. It also doesn't completely cover the entire breast, so you can wear it with a low cut shirt. My only two complaints: I feel like the wire will pop out pretty easily, so I know I will be sewing them, and also, only black and nude? C'mon, Cleo!

I have always had to wear 2 sports bras to be able to even jog. I have no issues with running or CrossFit with this one. It holds everything in place for box jumps, burpees, pull-ups, whatever my coaches throw at me. The only improvement I would make is for it to compress just a little bot more so "the girls" stay out of the way for weightlifting. It's definitely not enough of an issue to keep searching for a different bra. I've tried Enell and Lynx and a few others, this is hands-down the best.

I really like this bra. When I first put it on, I thought it may be too small because of the amount of cleavage, but it fits well. I feel supported and comfortable. The band might be a bit snug, but works on the last setting. I'm sure it will stretch and I plan on losing some weight this summer anyways. All in all, I'm satisfied.

I LOVE this bra!! I bought it in white a year ago. I just got it in black. I have slight scoliosis and with a dropped right shoulder am constantly pulling the right strap back up, but with this bra the criss-cross solved that! I bought the Fantasie Jana Convertible T-shirt bra to try something different and I couldn't get in it! With this Freya Deco I hook up the straps in the back, cross it over and hook it at the cup. Easy! I have a tiny bit of spillage out of the cup if I'm bent over moving around, but other than that it's perfect! It's not too thick of padding, but if you're self conscience about "headlights" when you are cold no worries with this bra! I will say this about this bra, you might want to go down a band size and up a cup size simply because after a year the band tends to get a little stretched out. This is what I did for the black one and it worked perfectly!

Someone tell me why this bra has been discontinued! I wore the Fantasie Cally for many years, until it was also discontinued. I have tried and returned tens of other bras and was just about reduced to wearing rags when Fantasie finally came out with the Samantha. The fit is excellent for for me - very large busted but with a petite frame and narrow shoulders.

I bought two of these bras about 6 months ago. I have large breasts (34GG) and I really liked the support of the bra-it's the best I've found to date. Here are my beefs:
1. The straps only tighten to a certain point. The extra padding on the bra didn't allow me to tighten the straps as far as I needed for maximum support. A huge bummer since I loved the bra otherwise
2. If you have full on bottom breasts, this bra is still going to sag a little at the top of the cups
3. One of my bras recently ripped on the cup-irreparable. This bra is a good quality but I expected more wear out of a bra in this price range.
4. The underwires are very wide so if you have narrow breast roots, expect some digging in under the armpit.

I have never had a problem with Curvy Kate fitting and she hit another home run. Love this bra! And it fits like a dream. Actually touches the breast bone in between, which is apparently just about like finding a unicorn.
Pretty and supportive. Winner!

I wear a 38E. this bra fits really well and gives a very nice shape to my breasts.
It is definitely supportive and looks good under form fitting shirts and sweaters.
it has cute bow details on it as well.

I wear a 34HH and this is GREAT bra I wear it everyday, it is very comforable and looks pretty, just enough lace to look cute. but not scratchy at all. Very supportive and does not let the girls move to much, they stay where you put them. Runs very true to size. A must have!

This is the first time I have tried a bodysuit. AND THIS CHANGED MY LIFE.
I recently had a baby and traditional shapewear is uncomfortable for me. I saw this and thought "this could work under a dress or skirt/top outfit OR to wear for my husband.
When I put this on I felt like my old self. VA VA VOOM.
Here's the deal: There is lace over the butt that stretches... perfect for any booty. There are sheer side panels which make you look extra slim. There is light control so you are held in and the bonus is - the cups are that of the Envy bra (stretch lace for the one breast that is larger than the other) awesome separation and lift!!
It's well made and gorgeous - get one now. Thank me later.

Overall the girls don't move and it's good for running . I'm a 34H it gets the job done.

The bra fits good, but the under wire goes to far up under your armpit and it doesn't have a racer back or a j-hook. Overall though the girls don't move. Which is something I've never experienced in a single bra I usually wear multiple bras to get the same results. I'm 5'7" and I normally a size 34H but the band runs small so I ordered a 36 like on the other reviews, and fit perfect. It is hard to clap ,but manageable good for running and looks like a sports bra colors offered not that great but in my size that's typical.

Overall, I love this bra. However, if you are planning to buy this and wear it everyday under clothes, I'd pick another. The bra front is intricate and shows under most fabrics. Support was better then I thought it'd be.

This is a very substantial bra, but it fits nicely, shapes well, and now that it's broken it, it doesn't hurt. It's sturdy and stiff, which is what I like in a molded bra. I'm not sure yet if I'd want to lounge in it, but it's a very good work bra and tames my chest well.
The band fits true to my measured chest (I measure 31" and wear a 32" band in this style) and holds my breasts right where I want them. I look neither huge nor squished, though there is a very, very mild quadboob effect if I'm not sitting in it right.
I have marked it for scratchy fabric because it is a trifle scratchy in the straps. I expect that will calm down with time. The bottom edge of the band has a rippled edge, but thankfully it's soft and doesn't saw against the skin like some edgings I could mention. The sides and band feel very substantial and durable, and the side boning provides good shaping.
I'm happy, and I'm a picky bra buyer.

I FINALLY found a bra to fit my band size. However, this bra is not my idea of a "full" cup bra. It does not fit as full as the picture indicates. All of the bras I see that I REALLY like are too big for me. It's not fair (ha, ha). I will continue to look for something with that true full figure fit. I am a 30 and it seems, so far, "they" just don't make a "full figure" fit in smaller sizes. Very pretty and well made.
